A motion can be moved "at any time" to terminate the suspension of a member or members. Such a motion was moved today. Why was it disallowed?""Why is the government shy of voting on the motion? Let the government defeat the motion and proclaim its scant respect for fairness and justice," he added.Leader of the House Piyush Goyal, after the house resumed, said the suspended MPs should apologize after attacking marshals and misbehaving with the female marshals and senior opposition members are not repenting on the conduct."Government is ready to consider their request but they should apologize," he added.Leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said, "we are requesting you that the crime which we have not done is put on us."
